snburg, a laborer, living at Nc. 96l Hol-
ton street, attempted to frighten his
daughter Alvira out of her alleged evil
ways, and succeeded in driving her into
the river instead. The girl who was IL
years of age, was employed as a servant
by a family on the west side. They COM
planned to Brandenburg that the girl was
keeping late hours with persons who
meant no good TO her. On this she was
taken home. Brandenburg nowtclaims
this had no effect, and to brighten her he
sat down Sunday night and wrote some
thing which he told his daughter would
send her to the industrial school for girls.
This frightened the girl, and she seemed
to feel badly all the evening. She re-
tired as usual with her sister. When
the latter awoke about midnight Alvira
was gone. The sister, alarmed, called
her father, but the latter made little re-
ply. Nothing further was heard from the
missing girl, but. Brandenburg did not no.
tify the police, although he admits he
suspected something wrong. The other
morning a passing tug turned up the
body of a young woman near the Cherry
street bridge. The coroner was notified
and the body taken to the morgue. There
it was recognized as that of the missing
Brandenburg girl. The father was mott.
fled, and he paid a visit to the morgue in
| company with his other daughter, He
| gazed on the corpse with heartless indif-
ference, and said the county might have
the body, as he had got through with her,
1t is supposed, that the girl, fearing that
she would be sent to the industrial schoo,
went directly to the river from home
and ended her troubles in a plunge into
the turbid stream.
